The Patterson FHVTCB-TC42 is a high-velocity dock fan designed to purge warm air from 53-foot trailer boxes quickly during loading and unloading. Engineered for efficiency, this unit emphasizes strong air movement while minimizing power draw, helping crews refresh trailers more rapidly to improve comfort and productivity at the dock.
Constructed with a high-impact polypropylene fan housing and a 9.5-inch by 11-inch blower wheel, the HVTC design channels air effectively with a compact footprint that preserves clearance at the dock door. The unit operates at approximately 1075 RPM and is specified for continuous duty, accommodating long shifts without interruption. An integrated option adds 15-watt LED dock lighting, controlled via a 4-way switch attached to the power cord for convenient operation of both fan and light functions when needed.
Typical use involves mounting the unit at the trailer bulkhead to create a directed airstream that exchanges warm trailer air with cooler ambient air in minutes, reducing heat buildup during manual handling. The specified decibel level of 75 dB at 3 feet provides a practical reference for workplace noise considerations, and an ambient temperature tolerance up to 104°F helps crews plan for hot loading environments. When selecting this model, consider the need for optional guards and the relevant mounting and power requirements to ensure safe, compliant installation in your dock area.
